I'll test more tomorrow.. By "wi-fi works correctly" I meant that I can associate and use my wifi link _however_ reported crashes still happen and I'm getting more worried each day especially since today when the system booted to single due to unexpected soft-updates inconsistencies.

From time to time, I test it with FreeBSD to see if the situation has improved. The results for FreeBSD 8.0-stable are now in[2]. What can I say? The only way I can get network interfaces (bge, wpi) working is by disabling acpi. However, I can't run the laptop with acpi disabled for longer periods of time, because it will overheat. If acpi is enabled, and I kldload if_wpi the machine panics (page fault). In short, this particular laptop doesn't work very well with FreeBSD.
